Paul,

No - however when i do - and use strict; i get errors that you cant use strict with fatalsto browser : also when i deved the site im working on on a win 2k box using IIS 5 - i got the errors without the pice of CGI code.

CGI Error

The headers you were printing are quite likely inaccurate, hence the error. IIS is fairly forgiving for "interpreting" improper headers, you'd be better off finding the problem with your headers and resolving that.

CGI::Carp, I'm not sure but it could generate it's own headers

PaulTEG,

no i think your missunderstanding - when i had IIS 5 it would print the fatals t the browser with out a problem - however, i converted to IIS 6 - and thats when it stoped printing the fatals to the browser - im thinking its a setting in IIS 6 - I know that Microsoft has made 6 "more secure" but seems like they maker it secure to the huy thats gotta work on it NOT the hacker! but what do i know im just another scriptie!

As far as I'm aware CGI::Carp generates its own sets of headers/errors as it's part of the CGI group of modules. I think the reason why my piece of code worked as opposed to the other is simply a syntaxical issue, although it will be different between different versions of IIS/Windows because although it generates custom errors they are generally based on those produced by IIS. qw(fatalsToBrowser); is a catch all so should work on most web servers accurately.
